Join me, Dr Mike T Nelson, on the Flex Diet Podcast as I explore the pros and cons of GLP-1 agonists like Wagovi and Ozempic with Dr. Chris Morrissey, a fitness professional and general surgeon. Dr. Morrissey shares his unique insights on the benefits and potential risks of these medications, along with his top recommendations for optimizing results and mitigating risks. 

We also discuss the challenges of training in extreme heat, sharing personal experiences and tips for acclimatization, and compare notes on how our bodies adapt to varying temperatures, with a preference for cold-weather training.
